He told the Guardian: "When we started rehearsals, I was trying to talk in theatre terms, and the actors just thought I was weird.

"One day I happened to say, 'Oh, that's a wide shot,' and they knew exactly what I meant. So now I've dropped trying to talk a language I don't really speak, and use film terms: this is a closeup so everybody focus; we're in a wide shot so everyone come alive."

Joe added: "In film, you have ultimate control - in the cutting room. In theatre, the actors have ultimate control." He joked. "You'll be surprised to hear that, as a director, I have control issues in life, so it's good practice to try to let go gracefully."
